[@fishhunt9874]

Nice day! I have the original version of that Weber that I have owned since about 1992 and I love it, would not get rid of it for any reason. The older version has a thin wire cooking grate and a large V shaped flavor bar under it. I just replaced the flavor bar a couple of months ago with an aftermarket unit off of Ebay. I have a lot of great memories connected with that grill. You are well on your way to developing the same connection to yours. 🍻

[@Hook2Cook]

Way to go! Just fix it instead of throwing it away. Love that. And agreed! The best memories are made outside around a fire!

Way to go H2C, halibut grubbing on the grunion run!

Thanks! These episodes definitely have a lot of tips woven into them for sure.

Yeah I noticed after watching a few other videos, my bad haha. Love the content

[@kylogged]

*Now that is insane* Great video as always! On a side note I’m hitting the in central cal, like 30,40 minutes north of Monterey. Any tips, I’ll be throwing a luck craft ghost sardine color. also, you guys have Corbina up there?? That was a big one.

How you kind could you slow down on your retrieve

[@svilla995]

Great video bro! how has that Quantum held up?

[@Hook2Cook]

Still going strong! Ended up giving it away to a guy who’s been beating it up worse than we have! Look up our corbina video. The guy who gets in the water to catch them.

[@garrettsmeal728]

What do you look for to identify where to work? Any tips on reading the troughs and cuts when there's practically no wave action?

[@Hook2Cook]

Start with the visibility structure on land. Things that jet out or water inlets leading to the ocean. Pebbly beach transitioning into rocky beach. Rocks on the sand can mean structure extended into the water. Any areas that are different than the surrounding area could be key holding grounds

[@House-of-Lords.]

You are killing us here Edward 22:23 shhhhh , I'm glad I ate before I watch the video 😂 hope you saved some for Veronica .. I try to fish on the shore but so many people on the beach in Southern Calif.. Do you recommend me high tide or low tide for halibut ? and when is the next video .. Take care bro...

[@Hook2Cook]

Low tide for sure. Into the incoming tide. These guys turned on during the second hour of incoming! Haha

[@inupik23]

Thank you so much for a quick reply. I’m from Alaska and would love to get into surf fishing somewhere up here. Watching different videos. I have some decent spinning reels in the 5000-6000 size range(Penns, Pfluegers, Quantum). What size would you recommend for our bigger halibut up here? Line size?

[@Hook2Cook]

Are you trying to throw lures for them out there? never heard of that being done there... dropshot? but for a dropshot, maybe 40# braid on a 5000 reel... 30# topshot.... depends really on how you want to get them.

[@inupik23]

Hook2Cook gonna throw some bait out in the fall when the dead salmon are spilling out of the rivers. They hang out there in the fall. Spring is good for halibut too. Got the 40# braid already. Gonna spoil it up. 30# leader? Thank you so much.

[@Hook2Cook]

Oh yea if you’re throwing bait and not casting over and over and over, go with a big reel. They might run and you’ll need some real power. How big will these fish be!?

[@Bryanpeacock33]

A legal sounds like illegal lol

[@scoooby1020]

Nice fish great job except except you might not want to lay your rod in the sand is the sand not real smart for that brand new real you have the sand will wipe you out
